SBTi Validation

UMC, a leading semiconductor foundry, announced that its emissions targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), making it the first pure-play foundry to achieve this. UMC commits to net-zero emissions by 2050, with ambitious near-term (2030) and long-term (2050) reduction targets for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Key strategies include expanding renewable energy use, maximizing energy efficiency, pioneering low-carbon manufacturing, and engaging its supply chain through the Supply Chain GHG Inventory Initiative.
